I recently stayed at this hotel, and I found it to be very conveniently located, close to all the main attractions. The rooms were comfortable and clean, though I must admit they were on the smaller side. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay more enjoyable. However, the dining options left something to be desired, as they didn't quite match the pictures shown. Overall, it was a decent experience with good value for money.

The staff was friendly and really helpful, accommodating my family's needs, especially when we had a hiccup with our flight. However, the rooms were a bit of a letdown initially, as we were placed in a hot attic room before being moved to a more comfortable one. The ongoing renovations were also a bit disruptive.
